Mood: chatty
Hi there,
It looks like things are turning around, in a good direction, for everyone. Ryan and I got some time to hang out together, I got some much needed sleep and it looks like Morgan is doing a lot better. Karl, however, is probably tired.
Things are not 100% figured out, but it looks like they are going to go ahead with her first scheduled day of chemo and see what the rest of the days bring (she gets 3 days worth). According to Karl, many more Drs. looked at the MRI and they have discovered nothing. YEEHA!!!! This is leading folks to believe that her symptoms may have really been driven by a virus of some sort. With the clean MRI, it also leads the Dr. to believe that the current cocktail of chemotherapy is working...so they are going to proceed. The tongue?? It is better, but not totally back to normal.
Now, she still has fevers and is achy, but the fevers are not as high. She is going to be discharged to David's House today. To give you an indicator on how much better she feels, she told Dr. Chaffee that she didn't want to be discharged until after BINGO came on. The hospital runs an interactive TV BINGO for inpatients every Tuesday, in the afternoon - and being treated in the clinic won't work because you can't play BINGO there. I do not know what their resolution will be :).
So, we'll see how the rest of the week progresses. I am holding my breath that she doesn't back slide again. But if she does, she'll be minutes away from the hospital.
I'm planning on switching places with Karl on Wednesday AM.
That's it for now....pray-fully, she has avoided something major. Thanks for all your prayers and concerns.
God Bless,
